ABOUT US

A NEW BEGINNING TO LOCUM TENENS

Who we are

Ark Staffing is a team of industry-leading locum tenens experts with vast experience in four specific specialties: Anesthesiology, Radiology, Emergency Medicine and Hospital Medicine. Over the years, we’ve witnessed the relationship between the medical community and locum tenens agencies deteriorate due to unsatisfying results and a feeling that the relationship was all about the transaction. We’re here to change that. Ark offers a new beginning to locum tenens staffing built on relationships, transparency, trust, and, most importantly, accountability that our candidates are the ideal providers for your needs.

About Our Founder

Ark is founded and led by Patrick Moore. After working in the locum tenens staffing industry for 20 years, Patrick recognized the need for a new approach to locum tenens staffing after hearing the same complaints echoed time and time again: the candidates we’re getting aren’t who they were promised to be, and our recruiting partners only seem to care about the transaction.

Combining his decades of experience recruiting across four hospital based specialties: radiology, anesthesiology, emergency medicine and hospital medicine and his desire to help provide better outcomes for communities, Patrick unites Ark in its mission to redirect the relationship in locum tenens staffing and reestablish trust, value-driven relationships, and accountability for recruiting and screening only the top providers for your staffing needs.
